Littlefield,Little Willie Boogie Blues & Bounce-Modern Recs 2 CD

A boogie piano prodigy, the teenage Littlefield was one of Modern's most important signings and - as the title implies - this CD displays every facet of his talent as a singer and piano pounder. Package includes the remaining sides originally issued on Modern 78s, plus a massive 14 previously-unissued masters and/or rehearsal demos featuring just LWL and his piano. Several of these have only been recently. All tracks are remastered from the original Modern Records acetates for optimum sound quality. ACE. 2005.
